Jane Cairns is a London-based ceramic artist whose work captures the beauty in the overlooked and the ordinary. Her practice emphasises an element of chance, combining technical precision with the unpredictable nature of ceramics.
Cairns uses slab-building techniques, mono-printing with textured surfaces, and layered glazes to mimic the natural wear and transformation seen in her sources. This approach allows her to imbue her sculptural ceramics with a tactile, almost poetic presence, making each piece a reflection of both process and inspiration. Based at Thames Side Studios in London, she balances her studio practice with teaching, sharing her unique perspective on observing and interpreting the world through ceramics.
